Well a file url looks something like this: file:///Z:/09002_R/client/090423_1730/RO.mov But if that works at all, it will only work on YOUR computer, or at least one which has that file in that place on a local Z disk. I think that most browsers balk at such a URL anyway when it's received from a server. > Is their a special usage of describing path-names in rails? If you want to serve up the file, you need to put it under the public directory, say in a movies subdirectory, and then use a path like movies/movie_name.mov I'm not sure what your directory structure means you could have a subdirectory structure under public/movies the point is that the url path should be relative to the public dir. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
